"Cory is a true craftsman. His work is excellent! His attention to detail and pursuit of excellence result in a work ethic and level of quality that are not often experienced these days. We're going to hire him again to replace the backsplash in our kitchen. I second everything stated by the others who reviewed Cory and his business. He is just a good guy.... has a can-do, positive attitude and great personality. This is the man you want for any tile installation needs!"

"I cannot say enough about how well Todd and Dan managed our floor/wall repair project.  It included a water damage demolition team, flooring team from Simas Flooring, drywall team, and baseboard install. Todd was able to be present when the independent insurance adjuster had an appointment and was very helpful in alerting and reminding the adjuster of important items for the insurance quote. Subsequently they managed the actual project with the various flooring and drywall people and it went pretty much according to plan.  All of the workers did great work, but especially want to mention the incredible baseboard work, absolutely beautiful!  Also a shout out to Dan who did an excellent job of communicating via phone, text, and email ? which I
think is the key to a happy customer.  We have had two significant projects (total value over $25K) with Reno Renovators in the last two years and the most important thing we can say is that we trust them."

"Working with Gibran and Jorge was a wonderful experience. They’re extremely talented and professional and such nice guys. I highly recommend their work. I am beyond pleased with how beautiful everything turned out. They tiled a fireplace, master shower and a kitchen floor, as well as some touch up. I will be hiring them again!🙌"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

To maintain tile and grout, clean the surfaces regularly with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and wipe up spills promptly to prevent buildup. It is also important to reseal the grout every 1-2 years to maintain its durability.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
